Scheduled Transaction: Extend formulas
Hi,
scheduled transactions allows for some formulas, e.g. generated by the load druid.This functionality should be extended (or debugged) massively:
1. Functions such as pmt(...) must be allowed to be part of a formula, e.g. 10+pmt(...) (when I tried this, the generated trxs always had a constant value, it did not change over time, may be a bug, may be it was never intended to be used this way...)
2. Account values should be allowed as inputs to the function, e.g. the balance of the checkings account. Of course this balance must be specified (first logical second of a…8 votes -
Add user levels to control access to features/funds/reports (username/password), to control access to features, rather than to protect from
Add username/password authentication to provide for multiple users to have different levels of access. Not so much for data encryption, but for separation. This would also work for multiple family members using the same computer.

Provide a quick way to see the full path to the current file
I often work on different copies of files with the same name, e.g.
2011/allaccounts
2012/allaccountsIn the recent files menu, these show as:
allaccounts
allaccountsAnd there's nowhere in the interface that I've found that shows the full path, so I don't know which is which. I pretty much avoid using the recent files menu to avoid making mistakes -- but gnucash also reopens the last-viewed file, which also could be any of them.
I could keep my filenames more distinct (but then what's the point of having folders?), but that doesn't help in cases where…

need to be able to attach a bank, cash, or credit card transaction to a customer or job as billable
A bill can be used, but this is very clumsy. An expense should be able to be marked as billable.

Investigate slow startup time and make it faster.
On my 2011 i5 work laptop GnuCash takes an age to start up. My accounts file is currently ~900KB. I run demanding programs like Visual Studio and they are faster to start up and load projects. Why is it so slow? GnuCash is also the only program to cause my music playback to stutter when it starts up. I would hope that this situation could be improved - does it really need 40 seconds to get going?

more web interface for report for easy navigation
This idea focus on "navigation" between different reports
Currently, to do a report, we have to click the menu, move your mouse, click again because menu is closedsuppose i want to open multiple reports, it could be a lot easier to see a navigation menu in report page. left clicking it navigate to thew new report in current tab, without having to close an "old" tab.
shift+left click or middle clicking the link/button open a new tab without focusing it3 votes -
Add projection capabilites to accounts
Target is to project the balance sheet and the income statement into the future based on projected accounts.
Each account should allow to enable a "projected value".
Default value is 0.
Options are (at least):
Constant value.
Based on average of last N (default: 1) months / accounting periods average increased by a factor of x (default: 1) each period.Correpsonding reports need to be established, e.g.:
-Projected Account Values: Shows value of selected accounts as projected for each projected period (each account one row, value in columns)
-Projected Income Statement / Balace Sheet: As above, could be created from…9 votes -
Add a warning, if a booking is in a placeholder account.
Placeholder account typically have no bookings. If they do, they should generate a warning.
I'm not sure yet, were the warning should appear and when, but open for discussion. I think I would not be sufficient to only do this when a booking actually happens (is this even possible? Never tried). For me this usually happens, when I create subaccounts and have forgotten to reallocate all bookings properly.
I guess, the warning could be made optional.

Total by period column in budget
The budget feature already includes a total column on the right for the year end total of that account.
I would like to see a total row at the bottom, which shows total income and expenses for that month/period. This is common in budgeting.

Allow Changing Font Sizes
The font size for the main "Accounts" screen appears not to be settable. It is too small. Old people have bad eyes. We need large fonts. We NEED large fonts.
Make it possible to set all font sizes. Make it easy to find.
PS What are the Style Sheets? Those settings don't appear to affect anything at all. I changed the font sizes for the Style Sheets, but nothing changed on my screen. How can I set the font sizes on my screen?????

Export Invoices to LaTeX

Add "Include Subaccounts" checkbox when getting online transactions
Similar to the Include sub account checkbox when reconciling an account, it would be very useful if when retrieving online transactions that the matching algorithm had the option to consider transactions within subaccounts. This feature would enable Envelope Budgeting - where I have one actual checking account but within GNUCash I subdivide it into several "envelopes", and pay for things out of those envelopes. Currently if I download transactions then modify them to debit the sub account, upon next downloading transactions the same ones come back, because they matching doesn't consider subaccounts.
I should also mention, your software is excellent…

implement EU based VAT reports, including EU reverse charge and means for it.
EU is getting bigger and bigger. VAT reports are obligation of any VAT registered business. Small differences are from country to country, but VAT reports are really required. One has to implement the means or methods of preparation for such VAT reports and the VAT report itself, including the EU reverse charge report.
Implementing the recognition of countries is important. If the company is within EU, there shall be an automatic distinction between the EU companies outside of the local country and local country companies and non-EU companies, as that is required in VAT reports.
INTRASTAT as well.
